Motivation as a motivational management is a system of actions to increase the encouragement of another person. “Work motivation is… a sort of a Rubik’s cube of many interesting facets and components, but also extremely difficult to put together into a meaningful whole with all of the pieces lined up appropriately” (Lyman W. Porter, 2008).

It is necessary to accent the need of "team spirit" when every employee feels a member of the "big corporate family." As a result, people get emotional satisfaction, and the productivity of work increases.According to Kormanski, C. (1999),“Most problems of all kinds can usually be traced back to poor communication or lack of communication skills . . .” It is important to provide staff training opportunities.
